C-FBSX moves into hangar

Our club plane moved into its hangar today just as the snow was falling. Nice to see BSX out of the weather.

The Alberni Valley Soaring Associaton moved their Pawnee out of the hangar to Nanaimo on Monday. Thank you to Mark Johnston and his helpers for moving their plane to Nanaimo.

Pilots if you are going to be using BSX between now and end of February please make sure that you have someone else with you to help you move the plane out of the hangar. If you don't have someone, contact myself @ 724-9626 or Dave Guy @ 724-6724 to give you a hand. The same for when you return with the plane. If you have don't have someone with you please leave BSX parked in it's old parking spot and phone Dave or myself and we will arrange to have it put back in the hangar.

Keys for the hangar are on BSX's key ring.

Happy Flying!

Tofino Airport Landing Fees

REGIONAL DISTRICT OF ALBERNI-CLAYOQUOT

SCHEDULE "A" - BYLAW NO. R1016

FEES

1. Aircraft Landing Fees

The charges for aircraft landing fees, based on per 1,000 kilograms, or fraction thereof, of maximum take-off weight are:

a. Less than 10,000 kg $3.20

b. 10,001 to 45,000 kg $4.05

c. Over 45,000 kg $5.08

The minimum aircraft landing fee for commercial aircraft is $15.00.

Apparently they are going to do this by listening to recorded radio transmissions on freq 122.8 indicating that you are landing at the Tofino Airport.

Seems like alot of work for little return.
